Chapter 39 The auction starts
Valen tasted the egg tart in his hand and felt its soft, delicious, delicious, delicate, sweet and mellow taste. Valen felt that most of his life had been in vain!
Regarding this aspect of eating, Valen can be said to be among these merchants. He said he was first, but no one dared to call him second. I don’t know how many gold coins he spent for food! This is why he was willing to bid for a gold coin after the first smell of instant noodles.
Originally, Valen thought that instant noodles might be the best food in Red Leaf City, but now he knew that he was wrong, especially for people like Valen who particularly likes to eat sweets, this milk tea and egg tart are simply his real name food!
"Valun, this is so fragrant!"
Brown finished his two egg tarts in two bites, and he looked at Valen with some slight desire.
Valen calmly held the remaining egg tart in his hand. The city lord had just said that due to the scarcity of ingredients, there were only two egg tarts per person, and fruit salad and fried venison can be used to fill the body.
"It's really delicious, and to be honest, this is the best food I've ever eaten in my life!"
Seeing Valen's little moves, Brown knew that his little thoughts had been seen through. Although he was a little regretful, he didn't care much, because there were still many delicious foods!
"You said, if we took out these foods and sold them, how many gold coins could it be sold?"
Brown muttered quietly in Valen's ear.
"It depends on who you sell it to. If you sell a silver coin to a commoner, he may not buy it, but if you sell it to a nobleman who likes food or a royal family, I think even if you pay fifty gold coins, the other party may not be able to bargain!"
Valen's tone was a little envious.
“That’s right.”
Brown took another sip of milk tea, wondering if there was a way to buy some food from Zhang Feng, not only to make money, but also to satisfy his desires.
He is naturally not the only one who thinks like Brown. Many businessmen look at Zhang Feng intentionally or unintentionally.
An afternoon tea came to an end with the exclamation and admiration of many businessmen.
They learned the word "afternoon tea" for the first time, and at the same time they also understood the meaning of milk tea, sandwiches, egg tarts, and fruit salads.
Everyone was still unsatisfied, and Blanche even asked Zhang Feng if he would have a chance to have such afternoon tea in the future.
Zhang Feng naturally told her that if he performed well at work, he would not mind holding another event.
In fact, afternoon tea is a way to relax, but because the things Zhang Feng prepared were so delicious for these, they are now so full that they are lying on the chair with a half-slump.
Zhang Feng didn't eat much, after all, these things were nothing to him.
Caroline didn't eat too much. It was not that the thing was not to her taste, but that Caroline had to maintain a ladylike image in front of outsiders.
"Okay, everyone, the dessert before the meal is over, can we start the main meal?"
Zhang Feng clapped his palms and focused everyone's attention.
"certainly!"
All the merchants nodded in approval, and they knew that the good show was about to begin.
The merchants who had already had expectations for this auction now have higher expectations. After all, if you can produce such delicious food, Zhang Feng's auction products will not be much worse.
Some people even think that auctions now seem to be very competitive, so why don’t you give up on the auction and ask Zhang Feng if the “afternoon tea” can be sold...
"People, please."
Under the leadership of the etiquette lady, the group came to the next room.
This room is not big, after all, it is just a small auction. It looks simple and has no fancy things. There is an auction table on the stage and more than a dozen chairs under the stage.
Zhang Feng took Caroline to sit in the first row below the stage, and these merchants sat along Zhang Feng in sequence.
Blanche, who had enough food and drink, stood on the auction table. After seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she said without any fright:
"Good afternoon, ladies! Welcome to the auction held in Hongye City today. My name is Blanche. Today's auction is hosted by me. I am very happy to serve everyone. Without further ado, let's start!"
As soon as Blanche finished speaking, two etiquette ladies wearing red welcoming gowns and tall figures walked up, holding wooden trays covered with red cloth in their hands.
The first thing the merchants looked at was naturally not the auction items, but the two etiquette ladies.
Although they have seen it just now, they still have difficulty controlling their eyes. There is no way, these etiquette ladies are so eye-catching!
"The first auction item today is - Lite Salt!"
Blanche uncovered the red cloth, and there were three small bowls on the tray, and the bowls were filled with snow-white fine salt.
Seeing what was in the bowl, these merchants no longer cared about looking at the beauty and quickly turned their eyes to Jingyan.
After all, although the beauty is good, it is not her own, and she can’t eat it. However, if this salt can be taken and sold, it will be a perfect gold coin!
"so much!"
"So white! So delicate!"
When everyone saw these three bowls of fine salt, they were lit up. Although they expected that fine salt would appear at the auction, the merchants were still a little disbelief when they saw such white fine salt in front of them.
The main reason is that the visual impact of this fine salt is too strong!
There is no trace of variegation, it is completely the ultimate snow-white, and it is extremely delicate, and it is even shining!
If you don’t say this is salt, I believe everyone will think this is powder ground from pearls and gems!
These three small bowls happen to be a large bag of about 500 grams of salt. Although it doesn't matter that Zhang Feng uses that modern packaging directly, they don't know the words of another world, but in order to avoid future troubles, Zhang Feng will not expose information from another world outside the castle.
The etiquette lady walked around the merchant with salt in her hands. When she returned to the stage again, Blanche's loud voice sounded.
"I believe everyone has seen it. Not only does it look white and delicate, it has no odor at all, but it only has the purest salt! Compared with coarse salt, it is also healthier! As for how this salt is obtained, I don't know, but I know that such a pound of fine salt requires a huge amount of coarse salt and then processed for a year to be refined!"
Blanche's words must have been exaggerated. Zhang Feng taught her to say this, but the merchants believed it, and even Blanche himself believed it because no one had seen Jingyan. Zhang Feng was the only insider. If he didn't believe what he said, he had to believe it.
"So, one pound of fine salt, the starting price is - ten gold coins!"
The starting price of ten gold coins is definitely high enough, but this does not stop these merchants from getting it.
"Eleven gold coins!"
"Twelve gold coins!"
"Fifteen gold coins!"
"Thirty gold coins!"
“…”
Seeing everyone who was in a fierce competition in the blink of an eye, Zhang Feng was very satisfied. In fact, he originally wanted to try a copper coin as the starting price, after all, many novels are written like this. I heard that this can stimulate everyone to increase the price even more.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't do this. After all, he didn't delay! If something bad happened, Zhang Feng always stayed away from him.
"One hundred gold coins!"
"Mr. Valen offers one hundred gold coins, is there any higher?"
"One hundred gold coins for the first time!"
"A hundred gold coins for the second time!"
"The third time for one hundred gold coins!"
